Riverbed Whitewater

Riverbed is excited to announce Whitewater-allowing our partners to sell a cloud storage accelerator appliance that enables organisations to augment their data protection and disaster recovery strategies by moving backup data directly into cloud storage. Customers looking to leverage cloud storage will be able to deploy Whitewater without any changes to their existing backup processes or products. Additionally, backups moved into the cloud will be deduplicated in-line, reducing overall bandwidth and cloud storage requirements. With this product gain the ability to assure customers their data will be secured at rest, as well as in flight to the cloud.

Enterprises can also eliminate the capital costs of current data protection strategies by reducing the dependence on disk-to-disk backup and tape archival.

Key Advantages:

• All restores from the cloud leverage deduplication as well as WAN optimization techniques that dramatically accelerate recovery of anything from a file to a volume or more. Optimize and restore in minutes what used to take days.
• Use a direct interface from your existing backup software straight to the cloud. This gives you reliable, off-site data protection without the need to invest in a secondary data centre or additional storage infrastructure. All the costs of maintenance, support, heating, and cooling in that secondary location can be eliminated.
• Industry-leading in-line deduplication capabilities that cut the cost of data protection by reducing both bandwidth requirements for moving backup data into the cloud, as well as driving down the duration and cost of backup, replication, and DR
